00:00:00,05 --> 00:00:01,05
- [Instructor] So we've already looked

2
00:00:01,05 --> 00:00:04,08
at creating sub folders at deleting messages

3
00:00:04,08 --> 00:00:06,04
we no longer want,

4
00:00:06,04 --> 00:00:09,00
at moving messages to a special folder

5
00:00:09,00 --> 00:00:11,00
because they meet a particular criteria,

6
00:00:11,00 --> 00:00:12,09
like they're about our licensing.

7
00:00:12,09 --> 00:00:14,01
And now we're down to the last way

8
00:00:14,01 --> 00:00:16,09
you can deal with messages that you've already read,

9
00:00:16,09 --> 00:00:19,09
you've taken whatever action you need to take on them,

10
00:00:19,09 --> 00:00:22,07
and yet you don't want to delete them.

11
00:00:22,07 --> 00:00:26,06
So because your inbox is really your front burner,

12
00:00:26,06 --> 00:00:27,09
the place that you should keep the things

13
00:00:27,09 --> 00:00:30,03
you're working on now, cluttering it up

14
00:00:30,03 --> 00:00:32,08
with a number of items that you're just hanging onto

15
00:00:32,08 --> 00:00:34,07
isn't helpful or useful.

16
00:00:34,07 --> 00:00:38,09
And having a whole group of folders underneath your inbox,

17
00:00:38,09 --> 00:00:40,06
one for each possible topic,

18
00:00:40,06 --> 00:00:42,09
that's not a great method either.

19
00:00:42,09 --> 00:00:45,06
So fortunately, there is something that works for us,

20
00:00:45,06 --> 00:00:47,02
and it's called archiving.

21
00:00:47,02 --> 00:00:51,04
To archive, you select a particular message

22
00:00:51,04 --> 00:00:53,07
that you want to keep track of,

23
00:00:53,07 --> 00:00:55,06
and you click the Archive button,

24
00:00:55,06 --> 00:00:58,05
and it will be scooped right out of your inbox,

25
00:00:58,05 --> 00:00:59,04
which is pretty cool.

26
00:00:59,04 --> 00:01:01,00
But where does it go?

27
00:01:01,00 --> 00:01:03,05
Well, it goes to your archive, which is here.

28
00:01:03,05 --> 00:01:06,09
And so here's that same message here in my archive,

29
00:01:06,09 --> 00:01:09,08
and it keeps track of when it was created.

30
00:01:09,08 --> 00:01:12,05
If I archive a subfolder,

31
00:01:12,05 --> 00:01:15,09
a subfolder will be created in my archive.

32
00:01:15,09 --> 00:01:17,07
Now, I want to say one thing about archives

33
00:01:17,07 --> 00:01:21,06
before I end this movie, which is, at this time,

34
00:01:21,06 --> 00:01:25,03
I have this great archive that I can add things to,

35
00:01:25,03 --> 00:01:28,02
but I can't get back to other archives

36
00:01:28,02 --> 00:01:31,02
that I created previously in Classic Outlook.

37
00:01:31,02 --> 00:01:34,08
All I have is this archive right here.

38
00:01:34,08 --> 00:01:38,08
In the future, the new Outlook will support access

39
00:01:38,08 --> 00:01:41,03
to those older archives that you might have created,

40
00:01:41,03 --> 00:01:43,07
but right now, if you want to get back

41
00:01:43,07 --> 00:01:47,05
to previously created archives in classic Outlook,

42
00:01:47,05 --> 00:01:50,02
click the button here, Return to Classic Outlook,

43
00:01:50,02 --> 00:01:53,03
look at your archives then and come on back.

44
00:01:53,03 --> 00:01:54,08
Why is archiving powerful?

45
00:01:54,08 --> 00:01:57,00
Because if I search in my inbox,

46
00:01:57,00 --> 00:02:00,01
I am searching not only the current inbox

47
00:02:00,01 --> 00:02:01,05
in all of its sub folders,

48
00:02:01,05 --> 00:02:06,00
but also all of the archives created from that inbox.
